Re: venting passage through ceiling and floor:
Confirm material meets local codes including fire stopping requirements.
Check the local jurisdiction on the minimum initial length of pipe that should be
exposed or accessible for inspection.
Follow the local codes for pipe clearances - no IBC requirements.
Ensure that piping is liquid and pressure tight.

Follow all installation instructions supplied by the piping and fitting manufacturer.
Ensure that adequate separation is maintained between the air intake inlet and the exhaust vent
